Maintenance
Care and Cleaning
First, remove the mains plug from the socket outlet.

■■Display panel, Cabinet, Pedestal

Regular care:
Gently wipe the surfaces of the display panel, cabinet, or pedestal using a
soft cloth to clean the dirt or fingerprints.
For stubborn dirt:
(1) First clean the dust on the surface.
(2) Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or diluted neutral detergent (1
part detergent to 100 parts water).
(3) Wring the cloth firmly. (Please note liquids do not enter the TV inside.
May lead to product failure.)
(4) Finally, wipe away all the moisture.

= Caution =
●● Do not use a hard cloth or rub the surface too hard, otherwise this may
cause scratches on the surface.
●● Take care not to subject the surfaces to insect repellent, solvent, thinner
or other volatile substances. This may degrade surface quality or cause
peeling of the paint.
●● The surface of the display panel is specially treated and may be easily
damaged. Take care not to tap or scratch the surface with your fingernail
or other hard objects.
●● Do not allow the cabinet and pedestal to make contact with a rubber or
PVC substance for a long time. This may degrade surface quality.

■■Mains plug
●● Wipe the mains plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. Moisture and dust
may lead to fire or electrical shock.
